Crown Heights Affair - 1975 - Dreaming A Dream

Thanks a lot Jorge .

Seminal 70s work from Crown Heights Affair -- recorded when the group still had a lot of fire, and were working in that key transitional sound from soul to disco! The album's got a really full and grooving feel -- and includes both disco and vocal versions of their hit "Dreaming A Dream" -- plus the tracks "I Am Me", "You Smiled", "Foxy", and a version of "Na, Na, Hey, Hey".

Anacostia *** 1977

a gift from isaac .

Mellow soul and soaring club -- all nicely balanced together in this first album from the group Anacostia! There's a sound here that's slightly different than some of the other east coast groups of the time -- a willingness to slow things down, then groove them up -- all with a sound that's polished, but never in a too-commercial sort of way. In fact, most of these tunes seem to aim for a space that's pretty far both from radio, and conventional disco -- despite the fact that Van McCoy supervised the production, which is mostly handled by Charles Kipps. There's a fair bit of strings in the backings, and keyboards are by Richard Tee -- on titles that include "Looking Over My Shoulder", "Heartache In Disguise", "We Can't Live Life Alone", "I Can't Stop Loving Her", "Baby I'm Available", and "Face The Fact".

CREME D' COCOA *** 1978 ** FUNKED UP

Forget the "funk" in this album -- because the best bits are the mellow ones! Crème D'Cocoa are one of those groups pushing slick bass-heavy funk when they should stick to the mellower cuts -- which they do nicely on this album, in a smooth male/female harmony style that has a bit of a quiet storm feel to it. The funkier cuts are really just uptempo club numbers, not really that strong, but pleasant enough in kind of a shouting catchy chorus sort of way. Titles include "Baby, Don't You Know", "Leading Lady", "Mr Me, Mrs You", "Sweet Dream Lady", "I Don't Wanna Be Lonely", and "Do What You Feel". CD features lots of bonus cuts too -- "Toe Jam (disco mix)", "I Will Survive (long version)", "Party Land", "Baby Don't You Know (disco mix)", and "Do What You Feel (alt mix)".
